People kitbashed him into Trailbreaker because whenever there is a black pickup truck Transformer, well, it has to be Trailbreaker, there's no other possibility... because, you know, G1 had that black pickup truck 20 years ago, so now all characters have to play by the precedence set by G1, and are not allowed to deviate at all.
Now I must go repaint my Cybertron Landmine bright neon green and purple, because it's against the law of the fandom to have a construction-vehicle TF that is not painted in the Constructicon colours...

My biggest problem with this figure is that all those details get lost in my usualy beloved all consuming black.
Yes, I totally agree with Liege and Skowl. Black is cool, because I think of Ironhide as The Intimidator of the Autobots, and because the G1 Ironhide/Ratchet mold was *first* seen in black in Diaclone. But blue *does* show of the scult details better than black, and, like Skowl said, I don't know if red would really be any better than black or blue.
Personally, my black Ironhide doesn't have any paint detail on his face. I know some of ya'll were lucky enough to get Ironhides with face paint, but I was not so lucky. So I'm thinking of using the reprolabel Trailbreaker set to turn black Ironhide into Trailbreaker (more because we don't *have* a modern Trailbreaker figure than to make it more G1), and have this blue Ironhide be the Ironhide of my collection, since the blue shows off the mold details better.
That's just my take on things, though.

1)I hate to be critical, but that looks like CRAP!! No wonder it's only up to $9 with 3 hours to go. Mud? To be honest, besides the "mud" I didnt see the guy do a whole lot.
2) $30 SHIPPING AND HANDLING?!?! Give me an F-ing break! What pipe is this guy smoking???

what are you QFT'ing? It'd be great to know with a quote.
I'd like to see him in red. Am I the only one who thinks this looks kinda like a custom?
